Going from toposurface to toposolid have completely ruined Revit.
The workflow is incredibly slow when working with toposolid. I mean really, reeeally slow.
Bring back toposurface and get rid of toposolid - we don't need it.
It is impossible to please everyone but I am not so sure it is THAT bad. If one is used to the workflow of modeling site in a separate model (which many users could not understand and used to complain about), one can still use toposurface in a previous version and do all the cuts and fill there.

Everything worked fine with toposurface. No need to change anything.
Working with two different versions of Revit is not a solution.

- You can not link your building model that you made with Revit 2025 into your site model from 2023. That is not possible.
- Yes, you can create a new toposolid of the toposurface, but have you ever tried editing that toposolid? It takes a whole year just to change the value of a single sub-point.
Whether it was in the past version or new version, the the proper workflow for topo7site was and is still to model in a separate model. if that separate model is 2023 or 2025 what is the difference?!
When it used to be only toposurface, some used dynamo to transform that into solids/masses/floors while many complained why this option is limited to the few who know how to use dynamo. It was such a fuss that the topic went into seminars, AU Classes, Youtube and all over where Revit was a topic. Instead of having access to both worlds by learning a little bit of dynmo, users kept demanding to have the solid version. Now that Autodesk have decided to give the people what they want, I read negative comments, critcizm and complaints because the Toposurface was so much better.
and I bet many of those complaining now are some of those who complained in the past. I am not saying you are one of those but just saying thats how it seems things are

Wow, ok.... You mean this is a good solution? Should I hit the accept solution button?
Autodesk offers a 30 days free trial for Revit you know. You should try it sometime. Let me know how it goes.
No you don’t because there is no problem to solve the first place. The suggested workflow was not specifically suggested for you to use but shared for those who come across this post to consider.
The topography worked fine in the past even when some were unable to live with it and it works fine today even when you are unable to coop with it and as mention before most of those who complained in the past are the same who complain today.
